Happy Thursday, friends!  Last night, my (Jeni)  friend, showed me something that had  me smiling while I fell asleep… Golden Girls Shot Glasses!  As you all know, I’m a HUGE diehard fan that has watched at least one episode every day for the last 24 years…unless I absolutely couldn’t. Yah- it’s out of control but I don’t care.  So she showed me these shot glasses, of course I was giddy with excitement. And they are more than just glasses!  They are a GAME!!

I’m totally adding these to my collection (some of it pictured above!), and will definitely have to find a friend to play with me 🙂  Who wants to come play?  I also have all of the other Golden Girls games… is this enticing anyone?  haha!!

What drinking games do you like playing?

Do you remember Trading  Spaces? That fun show where a set of neighbors trade spaces for two days to redo a room in each other’s house, under a strict budget?  I (Sarah) love it.  I’ve always loved it.  Vern and Genevieve  are my favorite designers 🙂  Anyway, the reboot came back last April on TLC and I just binged the latest two seasons and I have to say – it’s just as good as it was a decade ago!

Paige has the same enthusiasm.  Ty is now a designer.  There’s now a $2,000 budget  per house. People are  still terrified of Hildi doing their house (can’t blame them), and there are some new faces, too.  It’s really  good, and fun to watch.  I love that they rebooted this show!!

What reboots have you  been watching?

This will get your giggles going!  This woman, Krista Ball, shared a recipe for homemade bread on Twitter. But it isn’t any recipe. It’s a recipe from her mom… who doesn’t have an actual recipe!  It’s HILARIOUS and reminded me of my gramma explaining her recipes to me! Be sure to check it out HERE!

Do you have any favorite recipes from your family?

OMG! I (Jeni) just put this on my wishlist!  It’s the HyperChiller, and it’s the perfect solution for iced coffee  drinkers. But it’s also awesome for those that make their own iced tea, or need to chill wine fast… or cool off juice or ANY beverage! Under 60 seconds from hot to cold – with a GREAT rating and tons of awesome reviews!

Do you prefer iced or hot coffee?

HAHA! This is too fun!  Adulting Stickers!  I (Sarah) could reward myself everyday that I do something  adult like now 🙂  I’m so easily amused…. haha!

What sticker do you deserve from this pack?

Do you live in or near Chicago!? The world’s largest Starbucks is moving into Chicago! Here’s what we know so far:  It’s moving into a space that’s 43,000 square feet and used to be a Crate & Barrel. It will be 4-stories with a roastery, coffee shop, bakery and roof deck, plus more!  It should be open in November 2019.  Holy moly, do I (Jeni) wanna go to Chicago now!

What’s your favorite coffee chain?

Toilet golf!  This would make a great gift for the golf fan that likes to take their time when … well… you know.  It’s hilarious and silly and actually looks pretty fun, too! Hehehe!

How do you entertain yourself in the bathroom?

About 30 minutes is all you need for this clever, unique recipe for Cranberry Maple Chicken! It looks super tasty, doesn’t it? Plus, a quick meal fix is exactly what a lot  of busy people,  need.  Besides the cranberries,  you probably already have everything in your kitchen!

What’s your favorite way to eat chicken?

    I love the Golden Girls too! I wish there were shows like that today, but sadly, there isn’t. Those shot glasses are totally awesome. I want to get some and play the game with my cousins.

  19. I used to watch golden girls. Love those chicken cranberry sauce. I haven’t watched trading spaces. I will try to check it out.

  20. I love those shot glasses! Now, I have an idea on what to give on Christmas to my best friend. She is collecting such so might as well give her an additional piece for her collection.
